IFPMA’s “Five Priorities for Preparedness and Response to Future Pandemics”
IFPMA has announced five key priorities for preparedness and response to future pandemics, as highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The following five priorities are essential for developing and deploying future pandemic countermeasures more rapidly and effectively, and for achieving global health equity from the earliest stages of a pandemic.
-
Maintain a vibrant innovation ecosystem based on intellectual property and ensure rapid, reliable, and unrestricted access to pathogens and their genetic information
-
Establishing equitable access to vaccines and treatments early in the pandemic response and forging a new social contract
-
Developing sustainable global manufacturing capacity in peacetime that can scale up to provide large-scale supplies of treatments and vaccines during future pandemics
-
Support the creation of a trade environment that contributes to global health security through open borders and the removal of trade restrictions
-
Support ongoing efforts to strengthen national preparedness so that countries can anticipate and respond to future pandemics
